Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (350°F).

  2. Line a large baking sheet with foil and drizzle it with a little olive oil.

  3. Place the cubed pumpkin on the sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper; toss to coat.

  4. Roast the pumpkin in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until fork‑tender.

  5. While the pumpkin roasts, prepare the Brussels sprouts: trim the stems, halve the larger sprouts and leave smaller ones whole.

  6. On a second baking sheet, spread the Brussels sprouts, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper; toss to coat.

  7. Roast the Brussels sprouts for about 15 minutes, until lightly charred and fork‑tender.

  8. Transfer the roasted pumpkin and Brussels sprouts to a large bowl and gently combine.

  9. Add the dried cranberries and walnut halves, drizzle with a little more olive oil, and toss lightly to distribute.

  10. Serve the warm salad immediately, optionally adjusting seasoning with additional salt or pepper.
